Jalen Hurts' Contract Stops Him From Golfing with Obama at Merion

The Eagles quarterback was unable to join the former president on the course due to a clause in his $255 million contract.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was present at Merion Golf Club but could not play golf due to a contractual restriction.
Hurts' contract, which is worth $255 million, includes a clause that prohibits him from golfing.
Despite not playing, Hurts enjoyed the outing with former President Barack Obama, describing him as 'down to earth' and 'like an uncle figure.'
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who did play, called the experience of golfing with Obama one of the coolest of his life.
Obama was in Philadelphia to support Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, adding a political backdrop to the golf outing.
